Business merger and acquisitions
Your business is successful and profitable and you are considering a radical step to grow your business: taking over another firm, or merging with another firm. Or, you've been approached by a potential buyer who is interested in acquiring your company. What are the next steps?
These new possibilities for your company - and your life - are exciting and promising, but the actual process of completing a merger or an acquisition is fraught with hundreds of detailed steps that must be navigated before the deal can be signed.
For acquisitions, a few of the details you will need to consider include:
Letters of intent and due diligence
Feasibility studies
Documentation: prior tax returns, financial statements, customer and creditor lists, and more
Preparation of a bulk sales notice if applicable
purchase price valuation
IRS and the state tax verifications.
For mergers, you will need to consider, among other details:
Jurisdictional requirements for documentation on owner approval,
Preparation the Articles of Merger for both companies,
Applications for authority to transact business in any new jurisdictions,
Applications for new federal and state tax identification numbers,
Notification of insurance carriers and landlords.
